3455 Lervig No Worries Wild Berries Norway Reduced Alcohol 1.5

Aroma: 2 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 3

330 ml can, from Helgø Meny Stadionparken. Slightly hazy pale golden colour, minimal white head. Strong and unpleasant aroma of artificial "wild berries" essence. The flavour is somewhat better, citric and not too sweet, but still with distinct notes of artificial berry essence. Decent bitterness in the finish. I'd rather have the ordinary No Worries, if you please.
